Help- How Likely is it That I Cracked the Chassis?
Recently picked up this very well kept FM2n, and went to put a PD plate on the bottom. Needless to say, I had a Lenny moment, and overtightened it a bit.
What are the chances I cracked the chassis, based on how bent out the bottom plate is? I have a set of Vessel JIS screwdrivers, but the bottom plate screws dont want to give up, and I dont want to risk stripping them.
I'm trying to decide if its worth it to open it up to check, or even take it to a repair shop to have checked, or if I'm likely OK. I was hoping to use this with an MD-12, and obviously hiking on a PD capture clip, so the tripod mount is unfortunately pretty critical for my intended use cases (not that I'm unique there, especially shooting film), so I need to see if this is now a no-tripod camera
